Thanks so much, Marty!! I think we all forget just how badly this heat and humidity hurt our training. I have been kind of injured, then I went on vacation, and when I got back, I felt like I hadn't run in a year! Your article just reminded me why I was struggling so much! Only a few more weeks - right? -Christy Zieres Coincidently, Nancy Buonanni shared with us two great articles she had read in the New York Times on-line. The first, ‘To Beat the Heat, Learn How to Sweat , supplements both Marty’s article and Christy’s note and can be read in its en- tirety beginning on page 13 of this newsletter.
